Question

Write the point slope form of the line that passes through (6,1) and is parallel

to a line with a slope of -3. Include all of your work in your final answer. Type your answer in the box provided

Answer 1

The given line has a slope of -3. Therefore a parallel line will also have a slope of -3.

The parallel line passes through the point (6,1), therefore its equation in point-slope form is

`(y-1)/(x-6) =-3`
That is,
y-1 = -3(x-6)

Answer: y-1 = -3(x-6)
